Solution
Well, I already have a proxy explorer script that finds working US proxies. You can choose one and update the proxy info in the FoxyProxy Firefox add-on.

However, updating the proxy info manually is tiring. So I made another script that updates the config file of FoxyProxy (here is my foxyproxy.xml). In order to force FoxyProxy to see the new settings, you’ll have to restart the browser.

Use Case
Say you want to listen to Pandora Radio but when you visit their website you get a warning in your face: “You are not a US resident therefore you don’t exist. Go away!” What can you do? Install FoxyProxy, set up a US proxy, verify it on an arbitrary site to see if it works, then visit the Pandora website again. Problem solved.
